Beyond the Resume? Intelligent Design for Mere Mortals

Seth Godin wrote a post called "Why bother having a resume?” in which he claims that truly extraordinary people do not require the standard job-seeking dossier.

What Internal & 3rd Party Recruiters Can Learn From Steve Jobs!

When it comes to the business world, Steve Jobs is the Man. Period.

This guy creates value in just about everything he touches - Is every new product Apple launches a blockbuster? . . . No, but his track record is a laundry list of immense successes.

1. Don’t give me (the recruiter) or your employer conquest a… Continue

You're My 'Mentor'??? Say What? But You're An A**hole . . . Um, Thanks . . . .

Rant of the day: Clowns and/or A**holes are self-appointing themselves as Mentors.?. !!!

Yes, yes, this is truly a growing problem . . . word on the street is that in the recruiting and business world, Clowns and/or A**holes (in the Bob Sutton sense) are appointing themselves as Mentors. I had to restate this as just saying it once doesn't let it sink in enough.

one of the ways i have dealt with this… Continue
